Author Bio

▼▲

Internationally recognized as a Bible scholar and spiritual patriarch, Derek Prince (1915And#150;2003) was educated as a scholar of classical languages at Eton College and Cambridge University in England, and later at Hebrew University in Israel. While serving with the British army in World War II, he began to study the Bible as a philosophical work and, as a result, experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ. Derek Prince taught and ministered on six continents for more than sixty years, imparting God's revealed truth, praying for the sick and afflicted, and sharing his prophetic insights into world events in the light of Scripture. He wrote over fifty books, which have been translated in over sixty languages and distributed worldwide. He pioneered teaching on such groundbreaking themes as generational curses, the biblical significance of Israel, and demonology. Derek Prince Ministries, with its international headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina, carries on the good work that God began in and through him by distributing his teachings and by training missionaries, church leaders, and congregations through its worldwide network of offices.

Short, easy read. Wonderful contents. Sometimes I wondered if fasting was just an exercise of willpower. Now I understand that the purpose is for us to humble ourselves before God. I have read and re-read. Shared with some in a small prayer group. They loved it too. It convicted them of the importance of fasting and the power when we pray humbling ourselves. They too said that this little book is one to re-read.

Can easily read the book in one setting and still be able to digest the truth and the scriptures. However, I recommend re-reading multiple times to refresh the importance of fasting. Important understanding I grasped--fasting helps humble the soul before God.

Dr. Prince was an awesome teacher, preacher and theologian. This is an excellent piece of work. It is very simple to read with a lot of scriptural references. A great introductory reference for those who are trying to understand the basis of fasting. In essence, Dr. Prince teaches that "Jesus did not say, "If You Fast".... but rather, "When you Fast".
